You can buy VitaMix from Williams Sonoma to Amazon and lots of places in between. 

 

I'd gotten mine directly from VitaMix.


@ILTH I agree.  But even though I've had one for a zillion years I still enjoy watching presentations sometimes because it reminds me that I can do other things.  We do use ours all the time and it is worth every penny for the smoothies (and the health and fridge cleaning properties thereof!).

 

I would not have bought one without the demos I saw on QVC. 


I only watch (mostly zone out) shopping shows when I'm over at a friend's who likes to watch. I have bought exercise equipment from QVC and HSN. They seem to have the best prices when I Google items and compare prices. 

 

I bought my VitaMix years ago for frozen Margaritas and Daiquiris. 😃  That's what VM was made for!🤣  THE BEST!!!!🍹🍹

Re: Why Can't They Get New Stuff?

@KingstonsMomI know I was watching QVC when the 50/50 tours were being shown.  I have no remembrance of anything sold during those shows.  I have all sorts of QVC from the last 25+ years, but really nothing I know came from those shows.

 

Anyone remember what they bought during the 50/50's?

@millieshops    One live show was from Arizona or somewhere and I bought a turquoise bracelet, and necklace, earrings and ring to match. I loved those jewelry shows where they would describe items better and give information on the stones. (And the mountains were in the background)!

Yes, I have some lovely things from Kentucky. Phyllis George, then the First Lady of the state, presented the crafts. They were well made and made here in this country.

I enjoyed some of the past selections: Tacori, Verragio, artisan collections including dolls/stuffed animals/glass ware (Fenton)....not a collector but there were some very unique, special items offered.

Re: Why Can't They Get New Stuff?

@1SnickersThanks.  I don't remember that show, but I know I do treasure the Southwest jewelry I bought from local artists on various trips.  I love turquoise, but never bought green until I toured Santa Fe and one of my favorite bracelets with many of the stones we associate with SW jewelry I found on a trip to San Antonio to celebrate an uncle's 80th birthday.  

 

I love stories and the possessions I treasure most all seem to come with a story - some9times mine, smetimes the seller's.  I assume this is one of the reasons I like the QVC story-tellers.

Re: Why Can't They Get New Stuff?

I agree.  I turned on the TV a few minutes ago and there was the same old Dooney and Bourke crossbody bag they have been selling for the past two years.  I don't carry a mega huge bag but I am as tired of the Trixie, pebble leather crossbody, and Zip Zip as I was that huge logo lock feed sack they offered several years ago in 300 colors.

Re: Why Can't They Get New Stuff?

This post got me thinking about the early days of QVC, and for some reason Molly .Dallad popped into my head. I googled her and she has a website and she sells her pottery on Etsy. A blast from the past.

Hasn’t the VitaMix been a TSV about 5 times already this year?  Sheesh!  Enough already.
